Currently, there are many pure electric vehicles on the market, most of which are not cheap. After subsidies, Chery's actual price is between 50.000 to 60.000 yuan, with a range of up to 200 kilometers, focusing on "simplicity, ease of mind, and environmental friendliness." Based on ensuring range capability and overall vehicle control stability, three major technological innovations have been implemented. Chery's biggest advantage is its price, which has almost no competitors. Combined with rich national and local subsidies, Chery eQ is still a good choice.
Since the first half of 2018. Chery New Energy has shown significant results in its "effort" during a product-rich year. The product matrix is increasingly rich, and sales are impressive. According to statistics, after a 188.63% increase in April, Chery New Energy's sales continued to achieve a rapid growth of 183% in May. From January to May, Chery New Energy sold a total of 25.157 vehicles, a year-on-year increase of 331.2%. Notably, the Tiggo 3xe 400 and the Ant 300 launched in the previous half-year have won a good reputation with their leading range, spaciousness, and intelligent configuration. The Tiggo 3xe saw a 212% growth in May compared to April, with orders "running fast" and market supply unable to meet demand. The eQ series saw an annual growth of 145.4%, with the eQ1 Ant ranking first in its segment. Additionally, it is reported that the Chery eQ1 400 will be officially launched in July. With such rapid development of Chery electric vehicles, how is their quality?
Today, through the personal experiences of users, let's see how Chery electric vehicles really are.
Users say:
Advantages:
1. Saves money, no fuel costs.
2. Everyone is concerned about the range. The car's display is accurate. The manual advises not to exceed 50 km/h in the first 1000 kilometers. I followed this and couldn't resist going up to 70 km/h after 400 kilometers (going 50 km/h on a highway was frustrating). Driving without aggressive acceleration or braking, the range actually increased (e.g., starting range of 180 km, driving 0 km, then the range shows 140 km after driving 42 km). Using the air conditioner reduces the range by about 10 km (when fully charged). Driving at 60-70 km/h gives a better range than driving at 40-50 km/h.
3. Convenient charging: user-friendly design, 220V household voltage charging.
4. Easy control: electronic continuously variable transmission, simple to operate.
5. Super quiet: quiet space, comfortable driving experience. The noise is indeed very low, making for a pleasant driving experience.
6. After driving and while charging, opening the engine compartment reveals no noticeable heat. How it performs in the summer remains to be seen. The air conditioner is very energy-efficient, consuming about 3 amps.
Disadvantages:
1. The storage box doesn't have a lid.
2. The fuel tank cap doesn't have a lock.
3. The central control doesn't automatically lock.
4. The remote key is a single one and can only lock the car without an anti-theft function.
Based on users' real experiences, Chery electric vehicles are quite good. The advantages outweigh the disadvantages, and with current government subsidies, it is a highly cost-effective car.
In today's global trend of advocating energy conservation and environmental protection in the new energy context, many domestic independent brands have also entered the new energy market. Like Chery, compared to the former "Made in China" label, many independent enterprises are gradually starting to innovate in the new energy field. Although the results are not yet very prominent, I believe that as long as they boldly innovate, independent car companies will eventually carve out a path in the new energy sector that truly belongs to them.
